Here’s an all-time Philadelphia Eagles team fans can be proud of

The greatest Eagle of all time, Chuck Bednarik excelled at both center and linebacker, and he’s the only man who can say he was a member of both the 1949 and 1960 NFL Championship teams. A ten-time First-team All-Pro (1950–1957, 1960, 1961) and an eight-time Pro Bowl selection (1950–1954, 1956, 1957, 1960), ‘Concrete Charlie’ is the most obvious choice for a starting spot on this team as the anchor.

You’d have to be special to beat out the beloved Jason Kelce, and Bednarik is definitely that.

Drafted primarily as a center in 1949 after an All American career at Penn, Chuck Bednarik very well could have gone down in history as one of the more dominant centers of all time. While he had a reputation as a ferocious defender, this two-way player lived in an era where guys who played both ways were more known for what they did on the offensive side of the ball.

Here’s a spoiler alert. Expect to hear more about his defensive prowess later.
